I have ubuntu 14.04, and am using lightdm. I want to login to the machine from another (windows) computer using VNC. By using the following /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf I get a VNC server, but when I try to connect to it I get (using chrome realVNC or TightVNC client) an error 'Authentication reason: No password configured for VNC auth'

[SeatDefaults]
autologin-user=
user-seesion=ubuntu
greeter-session=unity-greeter
allow-guest=false
[XDMCPServer]
enabled=true
port=177
[VNCServer]
enabled=true
port=5900
width=1360
height=768
depth=24

I have used vncpasswd on the machine to set a password. However this is a password for a specific user (I think). Also 'update-alternatives --list Xvnc' points to:

  • /usr/bin/Xvnc
  • /usr/bin/Xvnc4

I have upgraded to Ubuntu 10.10 from 10.04, but the upgrade removed some of my packages that I had manually installed. These package (Dekiwiki from Mindtouch amongst others) are not supported by Canonical.
The removal of this packages resulted in the removal of my website. Off course this is my responsibility, but how can I prevent such things from happening in the future?
